Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Cake: 1 c almonds (soaked) 3/4 c dates (soaked 1 c carrot pulp 3/4 c carrot juice 1 grated carrot 1 T ginger 1 T orange zest 1 T lemon zest 1 t cinnamon 1/2 c raisens 1/2 c walnuts /or/ dry shredded coconut 1 t lemon juice First, if you don't have carrot juice and pulp, juice the carrots and get that part ready. Next put the almonds and dates in a food processor and grind fine, until it forms a ball. Put it in a bowl with the carrot juice, carrot pulp, spices, zests, lemon juice and grated carrot. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Add the raisins and walnuts (or coconut). This is your carrot cake. Form a circle, square, or shape of choice on the plate (can put in a springform pan, whatever) Icing: 3/4 c cashews (soaked) 2 dates (soaked) 1 orange (juiced) 1 t orange zest 1-2 T lemon juice 1/4 vanilla bean Put all of these things in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Check to see if it tastes like heaven. If it does, move on. If it doesn't, add more dates, more lemon, more cashews, whatever. When it's yummy, dump it on the cake. As for decoration, use strawberies, raspberries, coconut, flowers, zest, spices ... you name it! enjoy terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
